An opportunity to be involved in such an adventure doesn’t come round every year. <br />I would very much like to participate, even if just for a week and, as you say, the Channel crossing would be a great thing to do.<br /><br />Please let Giacomo know I’m rooting for him and that he can contact me at eltallerinvisible@hotmail.com <br /><br />BenBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168004187604887107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-50771879998834421852010-01-23T12:08:38.471-08:002010-01-23T12:08:38.471-08:00Ben!

I am well past my physical prime and have debilitating disabilities which hinder me, but I yearn to go anyway and may yet!<br /><br />This voyage needs someone like you. The commitment to participate is open. You could go along for a week or a month or the entire trip. I know that yours and Giacomo's philosophies would match perfectly.<br />I am struggling with the notion of abandoning my life for six months to join this effort. In a way, it seems a natural for me and thus would not be an abandonment at all.<br /><br />Giacomo is known for picking up hitch hikers who happen to be sailors. But why wait by the Rhine? Crossing the Channel in a Ness Yawl would be an event of a lifetime.dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-6165585715762959342010-01-23T09:07:19.656-08:002010-01-23T09:07:19.656-08:00This story makes me want to a, build a Ness yawl, ...This story makes me want to a, build a Ness yawl, b, go on a long row/sailing journey. <br /><br />Giacomo might just find me standing on the banks of the rhine thumbing a ride.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168004187604887107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-566260391935583882010-01-22T16:15:10.199-08:002010-01-22T16:15:10.199-08:00Thank you for your wonderful help my friends, than...Thank you for your wonderful help my friends, thank you again Michael, I still believe that you will be on the boat, I am sure! We are waiting for you and for anybody who will just say: I would like to row with you.<br />Thank you Brandon, you will be wellcome too, anywhere. LAgo is helping us just hosting us and giving us some place (and what a place!!) to build the boat, they asked for nothing. They are improving their way of producing. I want to cohoperate and build a possibility for everybody to change. Differences are a risource, a treasure. We are learning from eachother. <br />The world is a miracle. And we are here to preserve it from stupidity and waste of energy.<br />Let's go! <br />All my gratitude to all of youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-12130096309346575922010-01-21T22:26:24.290-08:002010-01-21T22:26:24.290-08:00Go Giacomo!

It is our job as responsible citizens of ...Stewart,<br />It is our job as responsible citizens of our planet to sift through the trash for the gems. <br /><br />We will be truly civilized when all people behave in a responsible manner toward each other and every other species we share this rock with. <br />It's a daunting task. It's much easier to take advantage of your neighbor and beat each other to death to steal what isn't ours. Take the best and discard the rest.<br /><br />Giacomo realizes this is self defeating behavior and wishes, in a simple, poetic gesture, to call our attention to it. He asks for little in return. Only the love and respect we already owe each other.<br /><br />He thanks me. It is I who should thank him! I don't know much about Lago, but it appears that a corporate sponsor has stepped up to support Giacomo and his friends in a way that I would hope that all businesses should respond to their environment, both in business and in culture. May the ethos of business always be so! <br />My best wishes and wholehearted support to all engaged in this effort. (And a special thanks to Roland Poltock for his continued support of his friend! Cheers!)dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-15167304014194504192010-01-21T01:07:28.966-08:002010-01-21T01:07:28.966-08:00Thanks Michael, Thanks Stewart!

Here we are after so much work, help, so many NO, Thank you, Friends, real and fake and so many bike and train miles we found the way to build the boat. I am so happy, so thankful to everybody who are helping us. <br />And so happy that everybody can see, everywhere on this planet the boat building. We are very careful in using sustainable wood (from Bellotti wood See our web page) and non fenolic glue and resins. <br />Thank you friends for your support<br />PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-35284749180107328252010-01-20T23:45:56.790-08:002010-01-20T23:45:56.790-08:00Go for it any publicity is good.
